The Mic Hosking Breakfast with Jaguar the Art of Performance news Talk said.

Been Bonian, welcome today new insight into how we should tackle our literacy teaching in schools. The Prime Minister's trip to Japan? One what comes out of it? And two? How bad is this ongoing plane mess? Royal editor at The Mirror, Russell Meyer in after a wonderfully uplifting weekend, We are having our first ever scrutiny week at Parliament. So what does all that means? Having guide to all the sport in the commentary box after Rate Richard Arnold, Steve Price, they are in as well. Hosking, Welcome to the week. Seven past six. An astonishing moment Friday in Britain as the Reform Party of the first time ever overtook the Tories in a poll and in that number or those numbers, is a reminder of how superficial the whole political process of electing a government basically is and the danger of never learning our lesson labor will win the election not because they are brilliant to all their plans are exceptional, but because Britain is sick of people who have been running the place basically since twenty ten. Time kills governments, even brilliant governments, and the Conservatives have been at times brilliant, but not at the moment, in fact, not for quite a while. So the vote is a punishment, not any form of advocacy for improvement. It's entirely possible labor are useless. Labour here were useless when we gave them an astonishing fifty percent of the vote in twenty twenty. Many a landslide is followed by regret. But the Reform vote is a disaster for two reasons. One because they won't win any seats because it's first past the post and it's the unfairness of the first part the post system. You can have nineteen percent of the vote and still get nothing, whereas the Tories can have eighteen percent of the vote but we'll win dozens of seats. But more importantly, the Reform Party are in plain not because they're brilliant or have a long standing, well established series of widely supported policy ideas, but because Nigel Ferrag, who wasn't even running, changed his mind. Nigel's a great campaigner, wonderful with the oratory and gets a lot of coverage because of what he says and how he says it. Sunk and Starmer are boring as so Nigel lights the place up verbally and that, it seems, is all you need to draw support. My overarching sense of this is this won't play out as badly for the Tories as current polling shows, but it is looking like a lesson yet again that we see in so many Western democracies that who gets elected is not a well considered, well studied exercise. It's an act of frustration or anger or vengeance with a good dollop of hope attached. That you don't end up with buffoons. Farage doesn't deserve nineteen. The Tories don't deserve eighteen. Farage isn't that good, the Tories aren't that bad. But that's not how the game has played.

Finally all right, finally another blow for self driving cars. WAYM has recalled again all their cars because they wouldn't stop running into power poles. It was due to a software update on their jag your Eye pacers, so they were recalled to undo the update and also to update the maps. So good luck with all of that. Actually, I've got some ev news for you this morning. That's news of the world in ninety seconds. Have you missed it? Over the weekend? Ramaphosa's back, unfortunately, and that will put the handbrake on any progress of South Africa. The thing about it is the African National Congresses. I'm sure you're well aware. By now, I didn't get a majority for the first time ever. They came up with forty percent. The other guys the Democratic Alliance the DA as they know, and they came up with twenty two percent. Of these your government. But the next step is for Ramaphosa to allocate cabinet positions which will include members of the DA, so that'll be a first. So we watch it. We watch and wait over the next couple of days, twelve past.

Trying to work out whether this has come from tactical pools as they're calling this is Israel Southern Gaza allowed delivery of increased quantities of humanitarian aid, so the polls is underway will remain in effect for eleven hours each day, each and every day. They were allowing sixty eight trucks on averager day of aid in normally it should be five hundred, so they I don't know where the pressures come from, whether that's the States, whether the Israelis have seen they need to acquiesce, or what's happened. But anyway, for now it's on fifteen past six.

Management at Greg Smith is with us this Monday morning, Morning, Mate Morning, Mike now food inflation are like those numbers. It's almost like it used.

Management at Greg Smith is with us this Monday morning, Morning, Mate Morning, Mike now food inflation are like those numbers. It's almost like it used.

To be exactly that the can use. So if that's a report of that food price increase just point two percent in the twelve months to mate, it's actually the smallest increase in ten twenty eight. And see quite right, the increases a quarter of that scene in April due to cheaper prices of fruit and vegies of down eleven percent, meat, poultry, fish, as she recorded, there an annual decrease the first time in over three years. Any amigroups of high in price, but just less so. Restaurant meals than ready to eat food prices are almost five per cents are still pretty high, but grocery prices are coming down. Increases just one point three percent. Good news with cheese lovers, Mike prices are at five year low, so you get one kg block for just over ten bucks down to thirteen bucks sixteen May twenty twenty three. Look at a monthly basis, most items have also fallen. Opal food prices down point two percent in May on April, Cheaper yogurt, potato crisps that I'll drive grocery prices load. Also fruit and veggies we've got prices of mandarins, potatoes and apples. And it's not only food prices that are coming down, Mike, Petrol prices they also fell, and makes that Petre and diese were both down around three percent. Still before we get too happy there, ever, still when they were a year ago and Petron diesels fifty percent more expensive than free covid or these were age more petrols fifty percent more, but no one on less. Good news on inflation, Mike and and Easy have cost of living pressure, something that the Advent did should pay attention to. We'll see about that and maybe do get that rate coup in a few months time.

Of all this talk about Taylor Swift, i've heard the fact that it could have such an impact that the Bank of England might delight is the most astonishing thing I've heard yet.

Oh I did see amazing and that. So yeah, we're talking swift flation here, good news and inflation here. But yeah, potential setback in the UK. So the Big Even meets this week. No change is expected, but there's been speculation about whether her areas tool was actually going to push out the timeline for September. Raker, so she's hitting in London August, but she's always been already been elsewhere, hotels, flights, restaurants seeing a spike and spinning around her performances. Edinburgh, which should begin this league early this month, said that the concert edit up to around eighty million pounds and spending now Barclays they've got their Swifflation report out and they say the UK talk then and estimated one billion sterling to the British economy at one point two million fans are spending like it's going out of fashion. Fifteen tour days are spending around eight hundred and fifty quiddle that's about two thousand Kiwi dollars each on various things including merch for the combination and the like. And it shows that the spending on tour ticket holders is more than twelve times there, which costs the UK nine out. And then when they actually brought out the tickets last year like that actually caused a sixteen percent year on year increase in the UK spending. So the Swifties are out inforced thing. And they were asked for a comment, they said they look at a range of indicators, not just what Taylor Swift's doing. But I just thought about it. What allegiance of swifties are upset? She didn't come here at least it's one complication the up end z didn't have to worry about.

I'll scare The RBA is meeting today and tomorrow and they're going to let us know tomorrow afternoon what they're going to be doing. In Australia. It is growing, the economy, inflation is well down, looks like a soft landing. Are they cutting most people? Or four banks are saying. All the major banks are saying there is no movement, so they're going to stick to their cash right, which is currently four point three to five, which is a world away from ours. Most are saying November is where the cuts come in A and Z. Last week broke ranks and they said probably February of twenty twenty five, so that's tomorrow, six twenty one. He read News Talk ZB.

The Elon Musk salary thing late last week that he got the vote across the line from the New Zealand super Fund, of which the chances are you're a part of in some way, shape or form, holds seven hundred and sixty six thousand shares, so they got a vote, they voted against it. They voted against it originally, and they voted against it last week as well. It seems planes and education this morning, Mike. The PPDA take our full page ads back in labor during the elections they were a political winning the Labor Party. They don't represent their members, Mike. I'm sitting at work now, handwriting in my diary. My industry is in the late fifties, Mike. The single biggest issue with schooling in most business and in particular of the public sector was the hangover from the previous government to take a day off whenever you had a sniffle across the country. Billions of dollars education, Mike. This messa is due to the decades of changes from the old, carried out by the newbies wanting change, saying old was wrong if it wasn't broken, which it wasn't. The old set of plane disciple rules was the success. You had to go to school, had to have a request from your parents to have a day or two away from school. You were taught the basics, writing, reading, arithmetic. We all left school well educated to our level. It worked well. What was wrong with that? Might read the plane the definition of insanity is doing the same actions in expecting different results. If you were not listening this morning to early edition, Jason Wall, our political editor, who was in that particular part of the world, will be leaving PAPU in New Guinea at seventh this morning to fly to Brisbane to be picked up by a New New Zealand flight which is being diverted from Aukland to Tokyo via Brisbane. Luxon appears to have left without telling anybody, or addressing anybody, or saying anything to anybody. It was the most remarkable thing. I don't know that anyone sort of connected. Jason was busy saying nobody knew what was going on, and then they looked out a window and they saw Luckson's motorcade. He's gone, and Dame Terus Walsh, who's the leader of the business delegation. You got people like Greg Foran with there in New Zealand. You got Peter Becker rocket Lab. They're all, allegedly, according to Jason, just sitting around without the slightest idea what happens next. It sounds like a complete and utter cluster. Defense min is to Judith Collins after seven six twenty.

I mean, I don't mind if it's a game and you're expecting Melbourne to come back, and you should expect Melbourne to come back because of Melbourne. So I got no problem with it being a game, but you don't do what happened there. And that's the difference between being top eight and top two or three.

B Mike, I find it hard to believe the business delegation. We're not spoken to prior of the PM's departure. I imagine the press pack. We're not told until a firm plan had been made to avoid endless clickbait. That's possible that Jason's pretty good, and he seemed to indicate. And they're all in the same room together. It wasn't like they were separated out.

Remember it's not downtown Vegas, so they're all in the same room together. And I read this morning they were given chips and beer, and I thought, for God's sake, what is the matter with It's not picnic time, it's not a school holiday. It's a business delegation with some of this country's leading minds to go and spook New Zealand to Japan. And they're handing up bluebirds, salted and probably warm beer as well. Anyway, so they're all in the same room together. The point being if the press didn't know, then the chances are dome tories. Walsh is apparently the head of the business delegation, and she was pulled as she was pulled aside into a room and told what was going on, how these things work. I don't know why you wouldn't, as the Prime Minister, simply stand in front of the group. It's not like this ten thousand of them, I mean, there's only a few dozen. Stand in front of the group and say, look, I've got to go. I can get myself to Hong Kong, then I can get myself to Japan. I apologize for this obviously, hands up for a quick whip round for a new plane anybody, and then everyone go, And then you can leave the room and go. You don't just sort of it seems that he just left and nobody knew what was going on. Mike, Why don't we just purchase the second hand leadership? Well, of course, of course we do that. The's planes all over the world. If you want to buy a plane, buy a plane. But as I said earlier, on what government, and the answer is none. Hence we're in the problem. We're in what government, and good times or bad goes to the people and go, hi, guys, couple of lea jets our way? How many hundred million dollars? And everyone you know listen to that. Listen to the outrage that we had about the tax cuts. For goodness sake, we can't afford tax cuts because we've got every man, woman and dog with their hands out looking for more money that we don't have. What government stands up and goes, oh, by the way, we need some new planes. No government, simple as that twenty two to seven should side in a couple of moments. So Biden's had a crack at the Supreme Court. There back in the news for the for the wrong reasons. More shortly meantime, speaking of the Prime Minister and speaking of Japan, this is part of as we are open for Business World tour Japan as our fourth largest export partner. Of course, on the trip carries a significant business delegation if they ever get there. A professor of international relations at a Tager University, Robert Patman is, whether it's Robert, very good morning.

To you, Good morning mine.

What's your impression of Japan. Mine of Japan is, yes, they're big, and yes they're influential. But of all the countries we do business with, we think of the US, we think of China, we think of the EU, ahead of Japan, Japan seems to fly under the radar a bit.

I agree with you in terms of perception. But since all governments since twenty seventeen have made up elevating relations with Japan a priority, and it's no. And that's not surprising because all governments since about that period have been desperate to diversify trade trade dependence on China. Japan is a partner with US in the Transpacific Partnership, comprehensive and progressive Transpacific partnership. In fact, they were a leading player after the United States pulled out of that under mister Trump. So you know, we are seeing sad of the improving trade with them as part of that arrangement, but obviously we'd like to give it a boost. And I think it's you know, I think it's a really smart move on the part of the government to signal the priority of really boosting relations with Japan, liberal democracy, big economy.

Minded, Mike. They do believe in multilateralism and they do believe in the rules based orders. So if we can really boost trade relations with them, we're not going to have the sort of complications we have dealing with authoritarian states where we really only have economics or business in com So there's a lot of potential in this relationship and it's a it's just frustrating about as you're saying just before we started speaking about this breakdown in the plane. Is not a good look for the country when we're trying to sell ourselves as having really impressive business sector. It just doesn't you know, it's about time the go.

Of the area, Yeah, I understand that Japan is a like New Zealand exploring the option of Pillar two. But we already actually have an upgraded intelligence relationship with Japan, and I think there's my senses there's a lot that can be done to boost by natural security cooperation, and I understand that the Prime Minister will be saying more about that in the course of his visit.

All right, Robert, good to catch up with you appreciate it very much, Robert Patman, Professor of International Relations. Out of a Tiger UNI nineteen minutes away from seven paskting or subject of aviation. US regulators now looking at Boeing again. This is once again a seven three seven Max eight flying by Southwest Domestic Airline in the States did what they call a Dutch roll, a rock from side to side while in the air, potentially dangerous movement. One of a couple of inquiries also involved after Boeing reported learning of potentially falsified documents using titanium. The titanium that they got, I mean, I assume it's titanium. It's just they're not sure what else was in it. So Boeing cannot catch a break. Richard next eighteen too.

Would all those top CEOs travel together on the same crapped out old plane. Surely the risk of them all in the same plane at the same place far too risky. Collegial it'll be, you know, you go separately, the coordination, all that sort of thing. Very New Zealand thing to do, Mike, the plane for the PM. Why can't they listen to New Zealand seven eighty seven. I've said this a million times. There are no planes in the world. Every airline in the world is struggling for capacity. Tourism is booming. They cannot get their hands on enough planes. There are no planes in New Zealand has left than the planes they want. At the moment, they have no spear planes. Mike, why don't we build our own planes? Boeing can't build their own planes at the moment. Six forty five are Oh what a difference of week makes. You're on the seven five seven again? Yeah, we will it got us there Mic last time once further. It's a longer truck. But I turned out the takeoff and the landing, and so I've got every confidence. I've got more building confidence every time I get on that plane.

Biden was appearing at a star studded Hollywood fundraiser last night alongside and former President Obama. Also at this thing late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel, who served as MC, and several alist actors, among them George Clooney, Julie Roberts, Barbra Streisen and so on. At this event, they raised close to fifty million dollars in New Zealand equivalent. Biden predicted that the next president, whoever, is likely to have two more Supreme Court picks. Former President Trump already has three nominees on the court as part of the six to three Conservative majority.

If Trump gets in, says Biden, he's going to a point maybe two more justices flying flags upside down. That's his reference to Justice Samuel Alito, who blamed his wife, you recall, for flying an upside down flag at his place in what he said was a dispute with neighbors, only to have another flag used by the Capitol Hill rioters seen at the Elito's other place, their holiday home elsewhere. So they're big on political flag flying. This comes after the Trump bolsted Supreme Court overturned abortion rights with Row v. Wabe, and this past weekend issued something the New York Times editorial board cause quote, one of the most astonishingly dangerous decisions ever issued by the court, end quote, and a decision that quote will prove fatal. They overturned the Trump ban on bump stocks, the devices that can turn a semi automatic weapon into a virtual machine gun. They say, practiced users can fire maybe one hundred and eighty rounds per minute with an AR fifteen, most commonly used weapon in the routine mass murders here. We see those stories every second day. The bump stock lets them boost that number of shots permitted to as much as eight hundred. That's what we saw in the twenty seventeen Las Vegas shooting where a fellow open fire on the crowd at a country music festival. And here's just a little reminder of how they went. Yeah, this was this was a massacre, one person killing sixty other people, directly wounding four hundred and thirteen and leading in the panic to some eight hundred sixty seven injuries. Even Trump reacted, but not so Justice Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court, who argues that the eighty dollars bump stock does not fit the precise definition of a machine gun or associated device since it uses the gun's recoil to increase speed of fire. In dessent, Justice Sonia Soto Mayor voiced her astonishment, writing, when I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. The bumpstock, she says, turns weapons into machine guns. Clarence Thomas did not agree. Thomas, of course, is the justice caught out by the media for taking luxury trips worth millions and millions of bucks, paid for by billionaire real estate tycoon and Nazi memorabilia collector Harland Crow. That disclosure force Thomas to admit just the other day that he'd taken such previes, made a list of them, taken them from someone who well might have cases of interest before the Supreme Court.

Meantime, back on the guns, there have been three more mass shootings in the past twenty four hours Mike in Texas, two dead, multiple injured, Massachusetts. Seven youths shot up in a car meet up at in Michigan where nine wounded, including two young children, at a shooting at a swimming pool splash pad. That shooter fight as many as twenty eight times reloading, then killed himself. He was in his forties, lived with his mum, and while police now say he likely had some mental issues, he had loads of AMMO at an AR fifteen. They sold him the weapon anyway, despite anybody's concerns about anything, and now, of course, if he were still alive, he'd be able to buy that bump stock and fire eight hundred rounds per minute.

All right, might see Wednesday. Appreciate it very much. Richard Arnold stateside, Mike, why doesn't New Zealand taxtpayer set up a crowdfunding page to buy a new plane for the government. Sorry, I'm still laughing. What an embarrassment is? And I conspiracy theorists might lead you to believe maybe if you make it so bad, so embarrassing, so humiliating, we acquiesce and go why not let's buy another plane? O nine away from seven.

So yesterday when they land in p and g your fuel up, so they were going to be there for an hour. Somewhere along the line, somebody organizes a meeting with the prime the Papua New Guinea Prime Minister. So Luxon goes to meet the pap who no one else has visas, so no one else can get in the So the reason they're all in the room, the one room, the delegation of the medium excuse me, is because no one can get into the country because not allowed in the country because they weren't expecting to be in the country, because they were going to touch down, fuel up and carry on, except for Luxon, who was going to wander off to meet the Prime Minister allegedly, and yet no one could cover it or see it or have anything to do with it. And he was then going to, I don't know, presumably pop back on the plane and then take off again until he found the plane was broken, then just hopped in cars and left. Anyway, it's too random. There's something not right. The other thing that's slightly unusual for me is Mark Mitchell turned up in Switzerland over the weekend as our representative at the peace Summit eighty nations. China not there, Russia not there, Biden critically not there. But good old Mark Mitchell from New Zealand turns up to give Zelenski a hug and to achieve, as far as I can work out, this is not a criticism of Mitchell, achieve nothing. They sit around the table and they decide it's not fair what's happening in the war, and it's got to stop. So it's a long way to go just for that, isn't it. But at least he got there. Five minutes away from seven.

B Coco problems prices through the roof. A metric ton of coco usually costs about four grand. However, we could croft in the last year industries panicked a but good news for the crop growers, bad news for the companies that can. In April this year coco hit eighteen grand. Normally four hit eighteen grand a ton. Price right now this morning is sixteen thousand. The problems West Africa, majority of the world's coco's supplied out of their farmers hit with the crop disease. Couple with the fact that lower price has started to be paid to them last year, which meant that a lot of them swap from cocoa to rubber. And you can't make chocolate a rubber. I don't know if you've tried, it's just hopeless. So in the last couple of days Garner said they would be laying a three hundred and fifty thousand ton delivery to next season. That'll push the price even higher. If price has come down, They're expected two in September. By the way, increases will still hit your favorite brands next year when those long term contracts with the likes of Hershey and Mars and Ferreira, or the Rochets and the mandoliese they run out. The other option discussed by the industry was having less in a box, fewer chocolates in a box, so like nine in a box instead of twelve. But you know what happens when that happens. Everyone goes, You're in Simon and James in the afternoon, don't you Simon and James will go, Oh, you gotta know, have you guys noticed there's not as many chocolates in the books? Oh eight hundred and eighty two to eighty and off you go. And that's what happens, isn't it. So I don't think the consumer likes that sort of stuff. Now there's a listener ac report. There's another weird thing that's happening this morning. Curse of writing, You know, curse of writing where all the letters are joined together and you use a felt tipped or whenever the hell you're using these days. I thought we're all on computers anyway. Curse of writing is a must. Handwriting is a must, and they're looking at you're ready for the idea that the new idea for twenty twenty four for young kids in primary schools. We test them, we see how they're doing, and the idea that this is a new idea in twenty twenty four is probably a clue as to why our education is where it is.

Once again we wonder aloud what to do about military air movement, especially when it comes to the seven five seven. The PM's delegation of course stranded and P and G. He got to Japan last night.

Well, then we'll no doubt it will have to either fly over to New Zealand or more likely be repaired in Brisbane, but it needs a new part. And the point is that can fly at slower speed and lower altitude, but can't do the long hause.

At some point, the cost of spare parts and the energy put into it must outweigh the cost of doing something about another vehicle, mustn't it.

Well, well, it must get to that stage. But I would say too, there are two of these lines. One of them is in long term repair and maintenance at the moment. With the new Zealand that comes out, I'm told we'll get it back at the end of July, and so then we've got to back again. It is really difficult, though, because we're very tight financial circumstances, and you can imagine how hundreds of million spellars being spent on what is essentially executive flight plus troop carrying capability would go down well with everyone in cost living difficulties that we haven't learned.

It isn't that the problem though, because it's always politically edgy and has been for decades. That's why the decision, the correct decision, was never made even in good times when bad no government wants to go, hey we need some new planes.

Yeah, well it was obviously the decision at the time when they were bought was to buy ten year old planes and that had been had a very hard commercial k life. What our people do keeping these planes going most of the time the vast majority of the time is astonishing. But you know, even commercial flights, sometimes you get decanted off a plane and poll sorry it's not going today, but you know, evident God, and we're much rather that with these planes. The point is is that the Prime Minister can then take delegation of business people, pers also media. That's the point of having them.

Really, So so what are we going to do?

Really, So so what are we going to do?

I mean, we can't continue, you can't leave Greg fouran and Dame Teresa Walsh stuck in P and G. I mean, it's just a joke. So either you get some new planes or we need to fly the Prime Minister as delegation commercially from here on. And that's just the way it is.

Well, these are some of the options that we're looking at. We've got the defense capability and it has been worked on at the moment, we'll have it go to Camp Cuts in the next two months. That will be one of the things that we have to look at. What is the point of it? And the point might be is that are these pass used for troops? Are they used for the Prime Minister and others? But it's not just the Prime Minister's played. It's not just that and people should understand that. So that's one I guess one of the problems we have is nobody, no Prime minister, wants to spend an awful of money on something that's seen as nice to have by some people. Even though at this time when we've got a situation we have to build the economy. It is really important the PM and business people can get.

Out yes, exactly, all right, go well. Defense Minister Judith Collins eleven past seven it's other issues. Perhaps not a surprise, but it turns out HOLF the country's critical hardware and hospitals as out of date. Health New Zealand have said significant investment is needed just to keep the lights on. The former Health New Zealand chair, of course, is Rob Campbell is back of this. Rob, very good morning to you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I take it this was the case when you were there.

I take it this was the case when you were there.

It was certainly the case before I was there for quite a long time. It had been to terror at quite a long time, not just the IT, but the physical infrastructure, the staffing infrastructure, the external infrastructure to support the primary healthcare sector across the board.

Is it sort of like the air four seven five seven. It's one of those things when you're short of doctors and nurses, you've focused on them and the bandages.

And not the it. No.

And not the it. No.

I don't think the doctors and nurses would feel they had too much attention. I think it's really quite the opposite to that. This is a long term lack of attention not just to spend, but to the efficiency of spend. And it goes back as much to the Ministry of Health and to politicians as it does to far to aura, or indeed their predecessors, the district health boards. There's a system which does not encourage innovation, does not encourage it addressing practical issues of how to make the system work. It's directed from Moolsworth Street, and like many things directed from Woldsworth Street, it doesn't.

Work all that well.

Work all that well.

And does everyone agree with that or not?

And does everyone agree with that or not?

Frankly, I think everyone does pretty much agree. But the secret is, and I suspect this is true and other areas in the public service, is that you don't talk about it. It's a bit like fight club. You know it's true, you don't talk about it, and therefore you kind of hope it.

Will go away, okay, And so hence we end up where we are. An overarching question for you your assessment of our system. Is it as bad as people make it out to be? And is it an example of public systems all over the Western world? Basically because all I ever do is do interviews about how bug it up the health systems? Is it really that bigger mess?

It's too big a mess to put up with. It's not an unfamiliar mess compared to other public health systems around the world, But I'm not sure that's much comfort while you're waiting in the emergency department or waiting for an operation. So it is pretty common and there are some really big issues involved with it, all the more reason to take a pragmatic, practical approach to what you can do. There's been a bit of dreaming about our health system. We observe it's terribly bad, and then we have people who come in an event that's really sophisticated twenty first century, twenty second century systems that will deal with all the things, and they ignore on the basic pragmatism of does this work? Do we have a payroll system? Do the lights go on? That kind of thing?
